Hi, yes, I'm an anti-linguist. I consider language to be a primitive form of communication. So whenever I want to say something to someone I just sort of stare at them untill they get what I'm trying to get across

Dale Cooper has arrived in Twin Peaks.

its so crazy that modern star trek fumbled so hard in the wake of game of thrones. theatre actors doing epic monologues in plots that are 85% meetings had never been so hot. the goal was wide open. and then they made star trek picard

Thinking about a #scifi world were humanity creates an AI and then wilfully sacrifices its entire economy, culture and critical thinking skills to it just because its slightly easier than doing all that stuff yourself ... hold on

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

Long flights sure are dull, they really make the mind wander ... A #shortstory I wrote. heads up it's a bit strange, but please check it out on #wattpad. Hope you enjoy! #writing #writingcommunity #story

Can we just take a few seconds to appreciate the pacing in Alien? Seriously, how is it nearly 2 hours long? I swear I've seen 10-minute youtube videos that felt longer than it #filmsky

"Nazis were just regular people" is not a statement meant to evoke empathy or to excuse their crimes. It is a statement of warning. The capacity to be part of and perpetrate atrocities is not limited to "monsters," it is wholly human. It is what we must always be aware of.

Hey mates, if you have Artstation acc, could you please give me some like? I somehow can't get my art to people. I'll do the same to you, thank you! www.artstation.com/kvacm

I'm always annoyed at #scifi stories that just have one "science officer" on the ship who just knows all the science Just once I'd like to see something like "Captain, I'm a condensed matter physicist. I don't know anything about quarks" #writingcommunity #Scisky

Ask not what happens to the economy if billionaires are held accountable for their crimes. Ask what happens next if they are not.

My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

What took me out if it is that it’s a bad show (Also, why are *so many* reviews of modern trek so blatantly bigoted??)

No offense to Lovecraft, but I'd think it'd be pretty easy to write #horror if you were afraid of everything #writingcommunity

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

There's a ChatGPT ad about a family farm where the owner says her family has been doing this for a hundred years and she doesn't want to be the one to screw it up and that's why she's getting advice from ChatGPT and, my God, can you people hear yourselves?

FYI if your hard #scifi story takes place centuries in the future, language should've changed enough as to be nearly unintelligible All your dialogue should be complete gibberish. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules #Writingcommunity #veryseriouspost

Anyone interested in #astronomy or wanting to write a (hard) #scifi story should absolute check out this top down map of the nearest 10 parsecs by @galaxymap.bsky.social‬, it's great! #writingcommunity

the most impactful thing Elon Musk has ever done or will ever do regarding science and innovation in this country is illegally cut billions of dollars of research funds for literally no reason

I hope people don’t come away with the idea that it was *just* Epstein doing these things. If he hadn’t existed, some other bastard would‘ve done the same

Already we are boldly launched upon the deep; but soon we shall be lost in its unshored, harbourless immensities.

What is the point of these LaTeX editors with a chatbot built in. To help search for references? If you aren't familiar with a reference, you shouldn't be citing it (if it even exists). And if you haven't thought carefully about how it relates to what you're doing, IT IS NOT REALLY A CITATION. 🧪

All this news is really completely confirming all my unfair knee-jerk judgments about a certain cadre of rich/famous douchebags, I gotta say

One think I'd hope for with first contact is that they've got a shorter proof of the Feit-Thompson theorem Seriously, it is just *begging* for there to be some clever 5-page argument or something #math #mathsky #scisky

I know this is not the main issue, but why does the US President sound like a character from a poorly localised video game? "It was quite a display of abuse and anger, for all to see, crazed and out of control." Are you a town elder in a JRPG?

Quick explanation of what it feels like to learn more advanced #mathematics. Specifically, how do you answer the question "How many intersections do two algebraic varieties have?" You could probably do this with any math subject tbh... #mathsky #maths #scisky

any fed watchlist is such a joke because this is the most aggressive of what we're organizing: whistling to alert others of ICE presence, and filming them doing their jobs. would be very easy to just ignore us if the reality of them doing their jobs was something that anyone on earth could stand by.

A pencil illustration of a flying quadrilaterian for the Birrin project, recovered from my collected sketch books. This species lives like a terrestrial albatross, riding oceanic winds for months at a time and dipping to snatch prey near the surface.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay soft in a world that keeps asking you to harden up. Pay attention to what steadies you — a quiet moment, a voice, a song — and keep those things close. They ain’t escapes; they’re anchors.

~The Boot~ We are all stuck under the boot. Ground to dust, from birth ‘till death. All agree this is bad, not all agree why. Some wish it was cleaner, and so they start licking. Others wish there was no boot. throw it out! They cry. Others still, wish they could wear the boot instead.

Fascists like climate change, because the chaos it causes will allow populist politics to go down easy, with mass starvation and refugee catastrophes. It is our duty to work against them. Join the most effective political group you can.

A merchant ship falls behind the formation during a crossing of the wind wastes on Calphis. This isn't an ideal situation. The barrens offer no sanctuary for a forced landing. The nearest settlements could be thousands of kilometers away. #hibourverse #illustration #NalinaofCalphis

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

2025 was a great year for me (despite the … ya know, state of the world and all that) I hope everyone’ll have a great 2026. Maybe even with a better state of the world. That’d be nice wouldn’t it?
